On June 8, 2026, Indonesia lifted a tsunami warning that had been issued following a 7.8 magnitude earthquake off the southern Philippines. The warning was rescinded approximately four and a half hours after it was announced by the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG). During this period, small tsunami waves were detected at nine locations across Indonesia, with the highest wave measuring 0.75 meters (2.4 feet) at Sangihe island. In response to the threat, officials had ordered evacuations in high-risk areas, including the capital of North Sulawesi, Manado, and northern Gorontalo province. Residents were instructed to move to higher ground in an orderly manner. The earthquake's tremors were felt weakly for a brief duration of two to three seconds. Indonesia, located in the Pacific 'Ring of Fire,' is prone to seismic activity, having experienced devastating earthquakes and tsunamis in the past, including the catastrophic event in 2004 that resulted in over 170,000 fatalities.
